Jeff Oppen Screenwriter

Welcome

Welcome to my site. I'm a very versatile screenwriter, and I have written feature film scripts, tv series scripts and animated series scripts.

 

I enjoy writing for television, especially sitcoms, as much as shorts and features. I love to create on any level, and I am open to the opportunity to write for any movie or tv show.

 

I'm a creator. I'm an idea guy. I'm a brainstormer.

 

Writer's block? Never heard of it!

Television Scripts

Sitcoms & Dramas. I wrote The Hules script in a way in which it could be adapted into a live action sitcom, rather than an animated show. I have it on this page, as well as my animated series page, in case someone uninterested in animation overlooks it. The Hules logline is below and the script is available upon request. Also, it's a link to more info on the show and synopsis.

I have loglines for other original sitcoms and television drama's I intend to write, as well as a number of reality show ideas.

The Hule$ Logline
It's the real life Simpsons meet the real life Family Guy, as a filthy rich family of modern day Munsters enjoy their laid back life as modern day Clampets living in a Louisville, Kentucky trailer park.

I have written spec scripts for popular currently running sitcoms, Two And A Half Men and The Office (US version). Their loglines are below and the scripts are available upon request. I am also writing an Ugly Betty spec for my portfolio.

Two And A Half Men - Alan Gets The Girl - Logline
Alan bets he can date a new woman every week for longer than Charlie can date the same woman.

The Office - Michael's Special Chair - Logline
When a wheelchair is mistakenly delivered to the office, Michael decides to have the entire office attend their company-sponsored Special Olympics in wheelchairs, out of his new respect for those who are confined to them, but when his chair is claimed by the rightful owner, Michael must attend the event in Dwight's aunt's arm canes and leg braces instead.

Ugly Betty -
Coming soon.
